Abstract
The olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare malignant neoplasm derived from the olfactory neuroepithelium. It can metastasize to cervical lymph node chains and distant organs through hematogenous or lymphatic routes. Two clinical cases are presented: the first, a 56-year-old man with no pathological history, exhibited symptoms evolving over 2 months, characterized by persistent rhinorrhea with frequent epistaxis, ipsilateral proptosis, left hemicranial pain, anosmia, and dysgeusia. Radiological images showed involvement of paranasal sinuses, left orbital cavity, and intracranial region. The second case involved a 46-year-old male with progressive symptoms over more than 1 year, including nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, self-limited epistaxis, anosmia, weight loss in the last 3 months, and subjective decrease in visual acuity. A protruding mass in the left nasal fossa was observed without intracranial involvement. Both cases were pathologically and immunohistochemically consistent with olfactory neuroblastoma, Hyams grade 2.
期刊介绍:
Neurocirugía is the official Journal of the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery (SENEC). It is published every 2 months (6 issues per year). Neurocirugía will consider for publication, original clinical and experimental scientific works associated with neurosurgery and other related neurological sciences.
All manuscripts are submitted for review by experts in the field (peer review) and are carried out anonymously (double blind). The Journal accepts works written in Spanish or English.
